The Name Game

My three oldest children are Benjamin, Cecilia and Caroline.  When Carrie started Middle School her older brother and sister warned her to watch out for the stoners, i.e. students who do drugs and hang out together.  That small fact apparently was not explained to Carrie who thought for a long time that Stoner was the name of family of ruffians who liked to beat up unsuspecting Middle School kids.  I thought of that the other day when I did a road test for a client whose name is Gideon Stoner.  Turns out there really is a Stoner family!

Last month I was scheduled to do a road test for a kid whose first name is Jahon.  I made a mistake when I greeted him by saying;  "Hello Javon, are you here for the test?"  His mother quickly corrected me.  "His name is JaVON.  JaHON is his brother."

I thought if any of my readers out there are pregnant and are in the process of picking out your child's name that the following list might be helpful.  These are first names of some of the people I have tested from just this month of February 2012.  Not a Robert to be found.
